Upgrading speakers/subwoofer

[SanDiegoFJ]

I have the sound package with the subwoofer and in-dash 6 disc changer. Has anyone upgraded their speakers or sub? How many speakers did you upgrade? I was thinking about upgrading but still keeping the same stereo. Any thoughts are appreciated.

I upgraded everything. I don't think you'll get much benefit of putting new speakers only unless you get some very low power requirement speakers, like infinity reference for example.

I upgraded my head unit to a Kenwood DDX8019. Then upgraded the front dash and rear pillar with 3.5" infinity reference, and the doors with 6x9 infinity reference. These are being powered by the new head unit, and they sound good, they would sound much better if I had purchased Infinity Kappas and amped them. Using those speakers (or similar low end speakers) with the factory head unit WILL provide some improvement, mostly in efficiency, they may prove to be a little more loud and clear, but you'll probably lose some bass.

I bought a sub from wickedcas and placed the amp under the drivers seat (nav/tv/hdradio are under the passenger)
And... It rocks. I originally had the system without the wickedcas subwoofer and it was good with the factory subwoofer, but lacked any kind of serious low end below 80Hz. Upgrading the sub was a HUGE step.

They dont seem to list this sub listed online, do you have a part number?

Thanks,

They don't have it online yet. Just give them a call, the website is Welcome to Wicked C.A.S The box is actually for 2 10" subs, but I had them do one custom for me with 1 12"
